Abstract
Provided is a cover plate. The cover plate includes a substrate, a first buffer layer and a second buffer layer. The substrate includes a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface faces a flexible display panel. The first buffer layer is laminated on the first surface, and an elastic modulus of the first buffer layer ranges from 10 MPa to 2 GPa. The second buffer layer is laminated on the second surface, and an elastic modulus of the second buffer layer ranges from 60 MPa to 7 GPa.
